Rain Garden Grant Program
All of the grant recipients have reviewed the locations and size of the rain gardens, and we are set to go with excavation and preparation of the planting beds. Individual owners will select various types of natural plants and native grass species that will enhance their landscape. Prairie Tree Landscaping, Elkhorn, will do the work on all sites. This pilot program will help further our District’s efforts to filter stormwater that runs into the waterway. Look for news of an expanded program next year and give some thought to joining in this cost-supported program. Think green…and yellow, and red, and beautify your yard.
History Committee
WANTED!
Photos and stories of the past history of unheated cabins, cottage life, fishing shanties, and good times in the old days along the Fox River and Tichigan Lake. We’re looking for any type of memorabilia from the early times in, on and around the waterway. We need copies of your family’s relics and recollections that will help us tell a story that future generations can enjoy. If you are a writer or conservator, your help would be appreciated in developing this exciting story of the past. Please contact any of the Commissioners to arrange submission of your photographs.
